Help! You Ruined my Hair

The plaintiff says she hired the defendant to put faux locs in her hair, but she used real ones and they’re so heavy they caused neck pain. She’s suing for a refund. The defendant says she’s been braiding hair for years. She claims she did an outstanding job and the woman turned nasty. She’s countersuing for defamation and wasted time.

I had a hairstyle that was too tight and painful. The stylist suggested I give it some time and take some aspirin. I took it out five hours later. Did I ask for money back? No, I just wrote it off as a lesson learned. Not everything is a lawsuit.

I got faux lox shoulder length and they were heavy (I was warned beforehand which is why I got them short) but I just never got the style again, its double the hair! If she would have asked anyone they probably would have told her it’s a heavy style because it’s hair wrapped around the braid.

[@jazzymoni7750]

Now Plaintiff. What did you think was going to happen adding 24-inch locs? I have no sympathy. Long hair has weight. Defendant did her job, the locs looked cute and "lightweight" is more subjective. She continuously asked if the plaintiff was okay through the process. Then plaintiff blocked her and could have avoided all of this with a little more patience. Folks gotta stop bringing their emotions to business. SMH

Sometimes you don’t realize how heavy the hair is until after the style is completed. Sitting in a chair with a hairstyle is different from walking around with the heaviness, having pain turning your head, and feeling the heaviness doing day to day activities.

The plaintiff is actually crazy. How do you block her so quick

[@AW-ue2ls]

I love how the plaintiff showed the text she sent and then, tell the judge the defendant never responded, but she conveniently left out the part that she sent the text and blocked her after sending the text. She was going to stick to that until the judge probed further. She had the audacity to act shocked and say, “judge this is the first time I’m seeing this message.” Well, yeah….you blocked her; what were she expecting to see after that. At the end she had the nerve to say her claim was based on “principle.” Where was all of that “principle” when she left out that she blocked her before claiming she never responded? I knew she was going to get NOTHING!

[@yelayu8457]

This woman attached so much hair to her head that she looked like the dreadlock Rapunzel…and she’s shocked her neck hurts? Give me a break. That hair style is completely unrealistic, especially with fake hair. And people who have hair that usually pin it up or even wear it in a dreadlock cap because it’s SO heavy. She was totally unreasonable and didn’t make any considerations about the hair.

I hate that she blocked her right after she had seen that the defendant didn’t respond to the 1st msg, given it was only a day. She sent the 2nd msg and the defendant responded 10 mins later. I hate the current social climate calls for blocking/canceling/complaining at the drop of a hat. The defendant seemed willing to work w her , she could’ve saved the stress of having to file (and the court costs) if she had never blocked her. Hopefully she learned a lesson.

[@skyhall7980]

I understand her as far as it being heavy I had the same locs and thickness in my hair I have 56 real locs and when I did them in my hair I knew to at least combine some of them to bring it down to 48 and that still was too much. I recommend 25 to 35 of these thick faux locs and they will still look good and full. Just combine more of your real locs.

[@MsSparklesNGlitter]

I'm no expert in that type of hairstyle but I personally found she looked great. What I don't understand is she surely knew friends or family members who had that exact hairstyle and would have known what it is about. The defendant was only trying to make the situation right.

I did somebody Senegalese twist in a micro size that took over 12 hours and she didn’t pay me if she didn’t even see it with me and that’s what I had enough 🤦🏽‍♀️ also one girl asked me to put a relaxer in her hair and her hair was really thick and I forgot to ask her when the last time she had a relaxer was but while I was rinsing out the relaxer she told me “yeah I just got a virgin relaxer for the first time yesterday & my hair didn’t take” and I almost slapped the hell out of her! Her hair was falling out and melting because she did not tell me that she had a relaxer 24 hrs prior knowing I would’ve turned her away. I think that’s the last time I did a non relatives hair.
